Received today the copy of death cert. ordered on 25th Jan.
I think that is quite good for 5 euros!
Cert. confirms an address for the informant.

The form tells me marriage cert photocopies are E6 - I was going to send cash - how much should I send for them to post it back to the UK?

As far as I know a 'research cert' is still €4 - this is a photocopy of the register. This applies if you provide the full reference details - mentioned above. See - http://www.groireland.ie/research.htm

The €6 fee includes a search where you dont know the specific details.

I wonder if the GRO are ever going sort out 'secure on-line ordering'?
Is their website ever going to be overhauled - it looks very dated now.

Their site has looked that way since 2003!
I wrote to them complaining about it and got a useless bureaucratic response.  I think they need an entirely separate site (linked) for researchers.  Online ordering is a priority but the forms could be fixed for historic cert ordering too.  It's not like other State sites can't do online dealing - the Revenue is very well setup to receive our tax online!

I think with the current 'economic situation' (dont mention the R word!), along with the civil service strikes & go-slows, it could be a while before anything like this is even considered...

I wonder if the GRO ever looks at comments like these on sites such as RootsChat?
Perhaps a 'Grumpy Petiton' would help?
